CURRENT CATCH-PHRASE: "Let's Go!" and "I know, right"

Well this is a big day...Grant's birthday and Father's Day! We woke up early and I started working on the requested birthday Texas Sheet Cake. Brandon took off to pick up donuts. The kids woke up, we had donuts and then it was time for the first gift. We hid it behind the car and then brought him outside and Brandon pulled the car forward to reveal the BIRTHDAY BIKE. This is perfect, we were planning a bike ride today! ;)

Happy Father's Day

Maybe new pajama pants would have been a better gift?

The break after 10 miles

He got a quick gear lesson and then started making his laps. Brandon loaded our bikes up and got ready for the day. A birthday parade had been organized for him at 10:00. He loved it. Elizabeth had wrote "Happy Birtday Grant" in sidewalk chalk. Luckily there was enough room to squeeze in the "H" Ima and Pops were the caboose of the birthday parade and what luck...they had their bikes with them! 

We headed into town to park and unload the bikes. We road 19.4 miles. We learned a couple of things...1) Grant's new bike is really nice and we need to upgrade Elizabeth. 2) body parts will hurt tomorrow 3)we more than earned lunch! and 4) we should do this more often!

We went to a wood fired pizza restaurant for lunch and ate outside (of course). I actually asked if it was ok if I went inside to use the restroom. They looked at me like I was crazy for asking. 

We headed home to prep dinner. The birthday boy requested marinated chicken kabobs (I am not sure who my child is - unusual request for him). We then all hopped in the pool to cool off and relax. We actually got so cool that we all ended up in the hot tub!

Dinner was hand cut fries, chicken kabobs and veggies, homemade baked beans (we all decided Bush's was just as good) and apple salad. I forgot the frozen corn that he also requested, but  he said "It's ok to forget to veggies mom!"

Grant opened birthday presents and the dad's opened Father's Day gifts. Brandon had declared on Friday that he was growing the beard out again...good thing the kids got him a new razor! We sat down and looked at old favorite pictures and had a lot of good laughs. At 9:00 I thought we'd better do cake before Grant fell asleep. In hindsight, relighting trick bday candles may not be the best during these COVID times! There was a lot of blowing on that cake!

It was another awesome, perfect day, celebrating some of the best guys we know!
